Abstract Early research on marine fungi was mostly descriptive, with an emphasis their diversity and taxonomy, especially of those collected at rocky shores seaweeds driftwood. Subsequently, further substrata (e.g. salt marsh grasses, animals, seagrasses, sea foam, seawater, sediment) habitats (coral reefs, deep-sea, hydrothermal vents, mangroves, sandy beaches, marshes) were explored for fungi...

Oaks are dominant and key tree species in Mediterranean forest ecosystems. However, recent decades, oak forests have been heavily impacted by decline, a worldwide phenomenon exacerbated climate change. The charcoal disease agent Biscogniauxia mediterranea is involved the decline of formations variety contexts. Here, we investigated impact role B. oaks Castelfidardo Forest, relict wood late Holo...

The baker ́s yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been employed by man for centuries in manufacturing of bread, beer, and wine. In science, it has become a useful tool as well. In this work, methods were developed in order to study the molecular biology of the cellulolytic filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei with the aid of yeast. Cellulose is the most abundant carbon source in nature, and its ...

Melanised fungi were isolated from rock surfaces in the Central Mountain System of Spain. Two hundred sixty six isolates were recovered from four geologically and topographically distinct sites. Microsatellite-primed PCR techniques were used to group isolates into genotypes assumed to represent species. One hundred and sixty three genotypes were characterised from the four sites. Only five geno...
